Good advices for a newbie (threading tools lathe)

[rendoman]

thanks for advice! it seems a very useful tool for lathe! i see something similar on this forum, right? I was thinking to build something easier, maybe only a bearing pusher to use with tailstock.
You're right! the frame is really powerful maybe too much for the normal use, but I like strong!
Interesting welding pistol! I never see one, i read about a solenoid that runs like a sewing machine, if i have understood it controls the current and at the same time provide a little movement for not drilling plates right?

i would like buying in future a good tig for aluminum, I was reading about "german" (for sure chinese with Toshiba mosfet)

good power, puls, high freq, ac\dc, the problem is know if the welder is good for alu or not, spec are really good, but in practice? it will weld good?

Update of today, i make some more drill, and the tiny horn for plasma! 58mm, ergal i suppose, it do flakes not chip, a bit more bright than the last aluminum. I try my best to polish, but with 10mm of throat is really hard to enter... same old problem
I pressed a cloth with force this time, polished enough i think!
